Well, now that it is 2007 it is time for me to take stock. I need a Content Management System for a Rockband. Naturally, I am drawn to Rock Band CMS 0.10. On the surface, Rock Band CMS does not look appealing, but once I dove into the code I was very happy with its' simplicity and basic structure. You see, a page featuring musicians must be categorized into logical content. These days, fans use the webpage to find the band. The webpage really is a part of the bands image. With a good Content Management System the appearance is separted from the structure. I see potential in RockBandCMS. The problem, I need to install Smarty...and, well, I haven't yet...not that I haven't tried. I just haven't tried hard enough. I have been distracted by the GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) and my System Admin duties. Those that know me will also know that I have files in my files and multiple profiles in my Desktops leading to files in my files. X-Windows quickly creates a situation of EXTREME multi-tasking. Indeed, this is what I like most about X-Windows....the multiple workspaces. I also like the "Do one thing well" attitude of good *nix programs. So as I try to Roll my own PHP Content Management System I must also look into what are known as common PHP Security Blunders. I must also report that if you need a quick Photographic SlideShow, PHPSlideShow is very nice. Just don't forget to add a redirecting index.php file to your graphics folder. Two sources of PHP code include Planet PHP and PHP www.hotscripts.com. Also, I just stumbled across the concept of Fluent PHP Interfaces. The concept of a fluent interface is not new, but it is an Object Oriented concept and that is new with PHP5. Still, the best source of PHP tutorials is right off the Main PHP Homepage. All the best in 2007.
